[Reader-list] [Announcements] Embodying Shakespeare's Voice

[Logos Theatre]

'Embodying Shakespeare's Voice' is a workshop for professional actors,
dancers interested in voice, and teachers.

The focus of the workshop will be on performing shakespeare 'from the body'
- rather than character analysis, participants will work from the rhythms of
the body. The emotional and spiritual foundation will be laid through
meditation and breath focus, on which a vocabulary of movement will be
built. All of this is based integrally on the belief that the voice is not
something intellectual or merely technical, but is completely grounded in
the body and spirit. Through the work on voice and movement, individual,
partner manipulation and the whole group, participants will explore the
navarasaas through Shakespeare's text, and vice versa. They will thus bring
together rhythm, eye focus, body, and spiritual oneness into a complete
immersion, breathing out the the inner melody of the text and the truth of
the individual persona's universe at that moment, in the process both hiding
and revealing their deepest selves.

The workshop will be open to performers, preferably with some background in
movement and some exposure to Shakespeare, or a keen interest in performing
Shakespeare. It is also open to teachers.
